Tokyo stocks rose in early deals on Monday morning as a slightly softer yen against the U.S. dollar set a reasonably bright tone for the market and gave exporter issues a boost.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 2.21 points, or 0.17 percent, to 1,322.40.
